You meant to mention that tooth, and then the appointment ended without it ever coming up. For Aurora residents, here is a simple way to get your questions answered.
Let's find a time
It is hard to think of questions while lying back with instruments in your mouth. A check-up works far better when you decide beforehand what you want to know, because the exam and the talk that follows are built to give you answers.
If you live in Aurora, your visit would be at our McPhillips Street clinic in Winnipeg. Bring a list on your phone or on paper, and read it out as soon as you sit down. Nothing about that is unusual, and it helps your team know what matters to you.
Explore check-ups & cleanings
A few notes made at home will still be there after the chair has reclined.
The start of an appointment, before any instruments appear, is the easiest moment to talk.
Keep going until the reply tells you what to do, what to watch, or when to return.
Your dentist and hygienist see your mouth from somewhat different angles. Knowing what each one handles helps you bring up things at the right moment.
Save anything about diagnosis, possible treatment, and existing dental work for the examination.
Daily habits, buildup, and the way your gums look are natural topics during the cleaning.
These are prompts, not a script. Use whichever fit, cross out the rest, and add anything that is specific to you.
Here are the natural gaps in a typical check-up and cleaning. The order may shift with your needs, but openings like these tend to occur at some point.
Request your visitWhile you’re going over your history and medications, pull out your list. Anything you’re nervous about or curious about fits here, while talking is easy.
Once your dentist has examined your mouth, ask about each thing they raise. You may want to request a look at any images while they’re on the screen.
While your hygienist is cleaning, conversation is mostly one-way. Save anything lengthy for a break, or use a signal if a question can’t wait.
Check your list one more time. Then confirm your home-care plan, any recommended treatment, and how soon you’re expected back.
In the days before your visit, jot things down as you notice them: a tooth that twinges, a gum that bleeds, a stain you’re curious about. Details like which side and how often are especially helpful.
Costs and appointment length can be raised even earlier. Those are good topics for the phone call or when the clinic replies to your request.
White chairs and small plants along a window with blinds.
Some patients hold back because a clinic feels busy or they worry a question sounds silly. Your questions are part of the visit, and a short or simple one is as welcome as any other.
If reading it aloud feels awkward, simply pass your notes across and let someone go through them with you.
Anxiety is exactly what makes your mind go blank, and your team can talk through it once they know.
Agree beforehand on what signal means you need the instruments out so you can say something.
After you’ve gone home
It happens to nearly everyone in the car afterward. A question that comes to mind later is still worth asking, and writing down what you were told helps you recall it.
While it’s fresh, record what you were told about your findings and anything you’re meant to do at home.
Keep the same note going, adding items whenever they crop up between now and your return visit.
If treatment was suggested and you’ve had time to think, ring with whatever you’d still like to understand.
A follow-up question doesn’t need an appointment to be asked. Try calling the clinic first.

Ask our teamNot at all. A list makes it more likely that you will get what you came for, and it shows your team what you care about. You can read from it or hand it over.
Start with anything you’ve noticed yourself. After that, you might ask what looks healthy, what needs watching, how your home care is going, and when you should next come in.
Yes. A check-up is a reasonable time to raise it, since your dentist can look at your teeth and tell you whether, and how, the concern might be addressed following an assessment.
Tell the clinic when you request your appointment, then mention it again as your visit starts. If it’s hurting or getting worse, call right away and don’t wait for a routine date.
Ask your dentist to walk you through any images taken at your appointment. Seeing what they are pointing to often makes the explanation easier to understand and remember.
Give the clinic a call and put your question to them. If it relates to your findings or to a new concern, they can tell you what the sensible next step would be.
Send in the form on this page or dial (204) 338-3003. Your care would be at Unit 5, 2358 McPhillips Street, Winnipeg, MB R2V 4J6, and your time is set when the clinic confirms it with you.
If one of your questions concerns a treatment you’ve heard about, these pages offer some background. Your dentist can then tell you how it relates to your mouth.
